Big Ben

Another Big Clock at Tiffany's Store

Linda likes to travel around the world; traveling is one of her greatest hobbies. Her footprints can be found everywhere in the world.

She went famous palaces everywhere, tracing the historic events that have ever happened. Buckingham Palace, Westminster Church, Capital Hill, New York Stock Exchange, Bridge of Signs, these were all places that attract her attention. Actually, the Westminster Church attracted her special attention. Not the church itself, but the Big Ben Clock that is hanging there.

                              

Why is Linda so interested in old clocks? That is really a matter of personal taste. In Linda's opinion, a clock always has a long history. Big Ben is quite a special clock. It is as heavy as 13.5tons. It looks huge and magnificent, and it is regarded as the symbol of London. The big clock was put into use since 1859. It strikes the hour every half hour. The clock still strikes the hour even now, clearly and timely, after almost two centuries. The British Government has an overhaul on the Big Ben every five year, including cleaning bell body, replacing Big Ben's timekeeping gear trains and so on. Every visitor coming to London will not miss such a fantastic sight.

Recently, Linda's attention was attracted to another clock. It is not a church clock, however. Actually, it is a famous clock in the fashion industry. It is called the Atlas clock hanging at the wall of the Tiffany flagship store. The huge clock is held by Atlas, a mighty god from Greek mythology.

Bells are engraved on the surface of the clock, which makes it looks very traditional. But in fact, it is a symbol of the fashion industry. It is the symbol of fashion standing in New York's Fifth Avenue. Linda was a fan of Tiffany jewelry herself, so she wanted to know more about that and she encountered the Atlas watches, which is designed at the inspiration of Atlas clock. That is really amazing. Maybe she would go to the Tiffany store and see if she could buy one of them. Clocks are always wonderful things for Linda. Atlas clock is an exceptionally special one with its artistic design and fashionable style. She took a great many pictures of the Atlas clock and decided to stuffy them further when she got home.

It is not possible for overseas visitors to tour the clock tower. I don't know why overseas visitors can't tour the clock, but I would like to why.
